Pandemic-driven windfalls not expected to last long into current year

SPRINGFIELD (Capitol News Illinois) – State tax revenues grew by $5.5 billion in the fiscal year that concluded on June 30, exceeding $50 billion for the first time in Illinois’ history, according to a new report from a state budgeting agency. The 12 percent base revenue growth in Fiscal Year 2022 gave lawmakers near-unprecedented flexibility in the current budget year. That allowed the General Assembly to approve $1.8 billion in tax relief, pay $500 million more to state pensions than […]

COMMENTARY: Voter choice and candidate suppression needs to become a criminal offense

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois is unfortunately known for political corruption and the suppression of voter and candidate choice. It's been a common and deceptive practice that has been going on for decades. 2018, unfortunately, is no different. As of several hours ago, a warning was given by the Libertarian Party of Illinois that the Illinois Republican Party is up their usual tricks again trying to throw the party slate off the general election ticket. PUTTING THE WORD OUT: Republicans are […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: Illinois unfairly suppresses third-party candidates

The following was previously published yesterday by the Belleville News-Democrat editorial board. Maybe voter suppression isn't our problem. Maybe it's candidate suppression. Do you know who Sam McCann is? How about Grayson "Kash" Jackson? They are two choices for Illinois governor. That may confuse most folks because most folks think the two choices were made March 20. That was the Illinois primary, when billionaire J.B. Pritzker got 45 percent of the vote against five other Democrats and billionaire Bruce Rauner eked out a […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: More candidates + more choices = more voters

The following guest editorial was previously published yesterday by the Northwest Herald editorial board. Monday was a day of significance on the Illinois electoral calendar, but just how much significance remains to be seen. That day marked the deadline for independent and third-party candidates to file nomination petitions for the fall’s general election ballot. With respect to all candidates in every such race across the state, we turn to the top of the ticket, where Libertarian Kash Jackson filed his […]

McCALEB: What’s real as the primary election approaches

(Illinois News Network) -- Everyone who watches even just a bit of TV or who checks their mailboxes every now and then knows there's an election around the corner. The dubious campaign ads and colorful mailers with big scare headlines have been flooding both for weeks. I hope you're not paying attention to them. They're generally dishonest and tell you nothing real about why you should support one candidate over another. But with early voting well under way and the March […]

Illinois’ congressional delegations split on significance of FISA abuse memo

WASHINGTON (Illinois News Network) -- Illinois’ congressional delegation is split along party lines on whether the controversial memo released Friday exposes inherent bias in the FBI against the Trump administration or if it’s meant to undermine law enforcement investigating the Trump campaign's ties to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The Republican-crafted memo was released Friday after it got the green light to be declassified from the White House. It alleges leadership at the FBI and the Department of Justice […]

Illinois’ Democratic candidates for governor pressed on how high they would raise taxes

CHICAGO (Illinois News Network) -- Illinois’ Democratic candidates for governor were pressed Friday on how high they would raise taxes.

The six candidates sat before the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board Friday morning, where they were questioned about how high they would make the rates. J.B. Pritzker, billionaire and heir to the Hyatt hotel fortunes, wouldn’t commit. […]
